Razuk, born of Clan Gorkil, was born at 29 S.A. Eldest son to a family of farmers that were known for his mother's, Aru'Gorkil, strength and hot temper. She had been a part of the brave warriors that fought in the great catastrophes of Arcas. Aru'Gortkil after disagreeing with a shaman in training about Korgahk's position as Targoth and not fighting to be Rex, she finds it humiliating that the great clan of Gorkil that has kept the Rex in the clan for many Elven weeks, does not try and fight for it. And as is honorable for her she called for an Honor Klomp. As a crowd surrounded them and was expecting her to unsurprisingly win-the unimaginable happened, in a flash she was on the ground as the still in training skinny shaman stood on top of her with burning red eyes and declared victory. Completely shook, the shame she felt was so great that she gave the family plot away as a form of debt payment to rid herself of the guilt. Orcs do not forget weakness so easily. Then almost overnight the great family lost it's ranking in the clan, had no harvest and no idea for the future.
Razuk was 2 years old when the horrid night took place, but since he was sensitive to the environment and grew quite fast for his age he understood what happened and tried to make sense of it using the stories he heard since birth of the legends: the great Krug- first spawn of the orc kind, Rax- the strong and powerful and his cunning brother Gorkil, who bested him in battle. Razuk knew what he needed to do: take care of his little sister and make sure she knew there was great honor for her. He saw himself, as the eldest son, as a brother that must learn from Rax's mistake, he will put his little sister first and take care of them both. As the years went on the family had not accustomed to the change from part time gatherers and hunters but mostly farmers to all round forging, collecting and doing all that can be done to provide for a family of two large orcs and 8 children. When Razuk was of age 6 and he asked his father why they keep giving him siblings when they cannot care for them his father told him that they will build their own clan, they will bring honor upon themselves and that it is always better to have a empty stomach and a house full of kin then too much food and rotten hearts, He held those words close to heart since.
Although he worked hard for his siblings (3 girls and 4 boys) and saw them each as a blessing, more valuable than a feast of a god, his childhood was tough. He often gave his food to his younger siblings and so as he grew, he needed less food and he developed much less muscle then most orcs his age. When he reached the age of maturity there was hardly a difference from when he was a child. Though his body did not develop much his mind did greatly and as he saw both himself as unfit for Gorkil and Gorkil unfit for him due to his resentment towards the clan for not remembering even slight grace to his parent's days of glory he went on the third month of his maturity on a quest to give his siblings a better future and to understand how that skinny shaman in just a moment's flash beat his mother.
He intends to go to the Yar clan and find his place among them, he wishes to learn of both their knowledge regarding the magic of that shaman and of history of orc people in hopes of finding someone like him just as he took inspiration from the legends of old.

Razuk does not trust this trader yet, the way he discusses such important goals as nonchalantly crosses him the wrong way, but he seems to know the place, it might be a good place to start looking "information, I am on a long journey. My name is Razuk, you seem like an honorable man, what would your name be?"
